This year was Alec's first Thanksgiving. Even though he has no idea what Thanksgiving is, having him around made Thanksgiving much more special to me!
We snapped a few shots before things got too crazy in the kitchen.
I was a lucky lady this year! I had all the Smith Men as company. Scott's dad Mike and his brother Josh flew in for the weekend.
Hum, I wonder where Scott learned to help around the kitchen?
Alec serenaded us with a few C, D and F# notes while the turkey was in the oven.
While Scott and Josh managed their Fantasy Football teams.
Alec got in the spirit and tried a few bites of Grandpa Mike's famous potatoes.
I am not a huge fan of the traditional Thanksgiving desserts. While we still had pumpkin and cherry pie (thanks Costco!) I made my favorite cake. I figured that if I was doing all the baking, that I would make something that I would actually eat.
Let me introduce to you the Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup Cake.
It has Reeses Peanut Butter Cups in the center.
I think that I took down about 3/4 of that thing!
By the end of the night, tired and bellies full, Mike and Josh snuggled during the football games.
Grandpa Mike and Alec.
Three generations of handsome Smith Men!
I'm just going to ignore that first post and say way to be on documenting your Thanksgiving! We had 20 people worth of craziness and I'm not sure if I remembered to take any pictures. I guess we'll find out.
ReplyDeleteOh and that cake does look amazing! Definitely a good idea to make what you love :)
